Election 2013: Attorney General candidate Rob Bell

Delegate Rob Bell stopped by SWAC Political Breakfast on Saturday to talk with folks about his run for Attorney General.
A young man on the move who is serious about what he does, he is more
than qualified to serve as Virginia's Top Cop.

Delegate Bell is knowledgeable in
criminal law, and has been pro-active in pushing legislation to crack
down on drunk driving and criminal sex offenders. His work on the Tebow Bill
has been encouraging to the homeschool community as he works to open
public school sports programs to athletically-minded homeschool students
whose parents pay the same taxes as public school parents.

A former state prosecutor for five years, Rob has patroned the Tebow
Bill as well as photo ID bills. He was an honors graduate from the
University of Virginia and the University of Virginia Law School. In the
Virginia General Assembly, he has written laws that crack down on drunk
driving and, as a result, was named MADD (Virginia Chapter) 2005
Outstanding Legislator. He has been instrumental in writing laws to ban
criminal sex offenders from school property during school hours and to
require additional background checks on school personnel.

In 2009 Rob received the Act, Honor, Hope award from the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance to recognize his work in the General Assembly.

Bell served as Chairman of the Virginia State Crime Commission and worked as Delegate for safer streets and neighborhoods.

A former Eagle Scout, he now holds the Delegate seat once held by Thomas Jefferson. Delegate Bell and his wife live in Albemarle County and have two children. RobBellforAG.com
